Action. Sci-Fi Max Max is a traveller of a post-apocalyptic world, journeying from place to place in search of Utopia. The places he finds, "Bartertown" and "Crack-in-the-Earth", are complex and visionary representations of two very different communities with startlingly different cultural propensities and political systems.

	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Sequels are not supposed to be better than the movies that inspired them. The third movie (...) [creates] a world more complex, more visionary and more entertaining than the first two (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"This film has showier stunts than its predecessors, and a better sense of humor"	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"The action thrums away happily, the performances crackle, and the movie proves properly thought out top to tail, gathering up a mythic quality (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Michael Wilmington Los Angeles Times	"The movie is, in every sense of the phrase, outrageously entertaining."	POS
United States	Dave Kehr Chicago Reader	"The punky energy of the earlier films has given way to a self-conscious striving for significance, obscuring Miller's considerable kinetic talents in favor of a lumpy didacticism."	NEG
United States	Variety	"Gibson impressively fleshes out Max, Tina Turner is striking in her role as Aunty (...) and the juves are uniformly good."	POS
